A. The
y-intercept (b) of a linear equation is obtained when x = 0. Therefore from the
given table,
y - intercept
= 8
Since at
time zero the displacement is 8 ft, this means that the horse was already
outside the barn initially.
B. The
average rate of change of the function represents the slope of the linear
equation (m). This can be calculated using the formula:
average rate
of change = m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)
m = (158 –
58) / (3 – 1)
m = 50
<span>C. Since we have determine the y-intercept and
the slope, we can formulate the linear equation:</span>
y = m x + b
y = 50 x + 8
The domain
is the value of x. When y = 508, x is equivalent to
508 = 50 x +
8
<span>x = 10 hrs</span>
Answer:
We have the equation
![c_1\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\1\end{array}\right] +c_2\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_3\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] +c_4\left[\begin{array}{c}8\\4\\3\\1\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\0\\0\\0\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c_1%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D0%5C%5C0%5C%5C0%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2Bc_2%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D0%5C%5C0%5C%5C3%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2Bc_3%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D0%5C%5C4%5C%5C3%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%2Bc_4%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D8%5C%5C4%5C%5C3%5C%5C1%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D%20%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bc%7D0%5C%5C0%5C%5C0%5C%5C0%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Then, the augmented matrix of the system is
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}0&0&0&8\\0&0&4&4\\0&3&3&3\\1&1&1&1\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D0%260%260%268%5C%5C0%260%264%264%5C%5C0%263%263%263%5C%5C1%261%261%261%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
We exchange rows 1 and 4 and rows 2 and 3 and obtain the matrix:
![\left[\begin{array}{cccc}1&1&1&1\\0&3&3&3\\0&0&4&4\\0&0&0&8\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Bcccc%7D1%261%261%261%5C%5C0%263%263%263%5C%5C0%260%264%264%5C%5C0%260%260%268%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
This matrix is in echelon form. Then, now we apply backward substitution:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Then the system has unique solution that is 
and this imply that the vectors 
are linear independent.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The common ration can be found by dividing the 2nd number from the 1st number:
250 / 50
which equals 5
250 / 50 = 5
you can do this by any number, for example:
50 / 10 =5
10 / 2 = 5
Answer:
m = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's move all variables to one side of the equation. (Don't forget to change the signs when you move the numbers to the other side.)
18m + 7m = -60 + 2 + 8
Now we simplify to get this:
25m = -50
Now we divide -50 by 25 which gets us -2.
Therefore, m = -2
Hope this helps!
An undefined slope is NOT the same as y= 0, since it is a vertical line. The x-coordinate never changes even if the y-coordinate is different. There is no run.
